Know-It-All People

Know-it-all people. Yep! I have encountered many. You too, I guess. One thing they have in common?.. Bad at listening. Opinionated. They have a great way of putting down people by implication. In other words, they know everything and you know nothing. Pretending to be expert into something that they're not. Unable to think that the end result most of the time by relying into one'self  knowledge are more mistake, more money, and more stress. No matter how intelligent a person can be, still, we have limitations. Accept that reality. Nobody is perfect. Especially with Mr. and Ms. Know-It-All (a.k.a. "Intelligent")...Learn the quality of humility. There's nothing wrong with not knowing it all!-  : )

When You're 30

I turned 30 last year. I took a good long look in the mirror to see if I looked any older. I slightly gained weight but, still the same (I think so). But still, everyone, my friends and my family kept making a big deal about it. "Oh my gosh, you're 30!" or “ I can’t believe you’re 30!”, as they said. Worst, my own sister will often tease me, “Ate! You’re old!”… Grrrr! What the h@?! I’m not a grandma!


While it really shouldn't be a big deal, when you’re 30, you're supposed to be responsible. You’re supposed to think about age appropriateness such as the way you dress, or the way you act, or the way you talk. You're supposed to start thinking about settling down and having a family. Kasi nga tumatanda na daw! Clearly there are expectations. (whew! pressure!).

I wish I have wisdom in this area. Essentially, must I present myself differently now that I am 30? Must I be pressured by my family and friends? Or should I take note of the words "age is just a number". I still love to wear my shorts and lose t-shirts with simple lipstick and face powder guys.
